Millie
Stephens is the personal assistant to an author of romance novels in
New York. Millie is a mouse of a woman, dressing down in all brown,
brown hair, glasses and timidly shy.

Millie
loves her job, but little does she know that her life is about to
change.

One
day while running an errand for her boss, Darcy Butler-Ryan, Millie
wasn’t watching and someone pulled her back at a crosswalk just
before being struck down by a large truck.

The
benefactor she didn’t see held her in the air and tight against his
chest. Millie was in for a surprise.

When
Millie saw who helped her, thug was the first word to pop into her
head.

Shaken,
she finished her errand and then back to Darcy’s brownstone and
back to work.

While
at work, Millie thinks about her close call. From reading and hearsay
she thought about how people in her situation have their life run
before their eyes. Hers reel is blank, her life is nothing, she is
nothing.

Then
one day while Millie is out, her thug comes to Darcy about converting
a room into a nursery for her impending delivery.

Millie
returns to the brownstone while Darcy is out. Hearing noises from
upstairs, Millie goes to investigate. There in a room is her thug. A
contractor working on the room. Millie turns to leave but her notices
her and speaks. Millie is tongue tied and nervous.

She
hurries out and tries to settle down.

Over
time, through a comedy of errors, Millie begins thinking about her
life and the dream she wants to explore but doesn't have the courage,
plus feelings of conflict while working for Darcy.

Dreams
of Her Own
isn’t your normal romance novel. In some ways it is a coming out
celebration of the new Millie, with help from Darcy, her sister and
others along with romance.

Dreams
of Her Own,
s not like other romance novels you’ve read. Dreams
of Her Own,
will give you a laugh and situations readers will relate to even they
haven’t experienced them.

Imagine if you will, you are a young somewhat naive woman from
Florida working for a company in a city like Vienna.

One day you receive a package with your name on it. Not realizing
that it is meant for the other Sarah in the office.

You open the box expecting a care package from your mother but
instead what you find unnerves you.

What you find, is that your identity has been stolen. How do you get
it back?

You visit the one friend you made and seek her help with what is in
the box.

Unbeknownst to Sarah what is in the box could mean her life and
little does she know that this is the beginning of the strangest
adventure involving danger, intrigue death and foreigners anyone
could imagine.

Sarah is told to go on the run by her friend, but is she Sarah’s
friend.

Follow Sarah’s life and death struggle in Extreme Betrayal.
Who is the ultimate friend that helps Sarah.

Extreme Betrayal is
engrossing and will keep you reading to find out what happens next as
Sarah travels through European countries and into the belly of the
best to clear her name and get her identity back.

If you enjoy mysteries with
action that will keep you
engaged, Extreme Betrayal is
the book for you.

Imperfect
Echoes is a series of poems by Carolyn, and a look at simple
things in our lives that many don’t take the time to find the joy in their
lives.

In this book, Carolyn draws with words allowing the
reader to reminisce, if you are old enough, about living a life before social
media and texting.

Through Carolyn’s way with words, readers are transported
to times and places painted though the use of words on a page as a painter uses
brushes to paint on canvas.

As you read Imperfect
Echoes, you are able to reflect and reminisce about experiences, places and
people from our planet.

Have a few moments to spare? Read a poem from Imperfect Echoes, it is not a book you
have to read cover to cover in one sitting, although, you could. It is about
the visceral response elicited by the poems.

Imperfect
Echoes, is a book even those who don’t like poetry will
enjoy reading and experiencing the written word in the form of free verse.

Imperfect
Echoes is a five star recommended read for anyone who likes a
good book.
